Retiring this offseason, after 14 years with the Sonics/Thunder organization, Collison left an indelible mark on the franchise and was even given the nickname “Mr. Thunder” due to his tenure and dedication to the team.

Collison dropped in on Thunder practice in New York City as the squad prepares to take on the Nets Wednesday night. It looks as though his presence was a welcomed sight and surely provided a laugh or two with former teammates.

The Thunder are currently playing some great basketball and while Collison is no longer with the team on a day-to-day basis, his leadership throughout his Thunder tenure has turned guys like Steven Adams, Russell Westbrook and Jerami Grant into the players they are today.
